Why not put some cosmetic dentistry from London dentists into your Christmas stocking?
Christmas shopping can be stressful, especially if you have a friend or family member who already has everything or somebody on your present list who happens to be very demanding. If this is the case and you find yourself stressing about the endless search for the perfect gift, why not consider giving cosmetic dental treatment?
Cosmetic dental treatments
Cosmetic dentistry has become incredibly popular during the last few years and more and more people are visiting the dentist to get their dream smile. Celebrities have gone mad for cosmetic treatments and many have followed in their footsteps in a bid to recreate the Hollywood style smile. Adult orthodontics has also enjoyed a boom period, as new treatments have become readily available and treatment times have been reduced.
The aim of cosmetic dental treatments is to improve and enhance the aesthetics of your smile. It is rare to have a naturally flawless smile and there is now a huge range of treatments, from tooth whitening to a smile makeover, which can give you a beautiful smile.
Which treatment should I go for?
If you want to give someone a special, unique gift this Christmas there are a number of treatments available.
Tooth whitening is an ideal gift because it produces results quickly, affordably and creates a glowing, radiant smile. If you fancy giving something a little more dramatic, you could opt for veneers, adult orthodontics or a smile makeover.
Research has consistently shown that the majority of people believe their smile is their most important physical feature, so buying somebody a gift to give them a beautiful smile will show them that you really care and would give them a huge confidence boost. You can also spread the cost of your gift if you cannot afford to pay the total cost up-front. Your loved one will never expect to receive a dental treatment in their stocking and it will make a welcome change to socks and bubble bath.

The stars of Hollywood and their gleaming smiles
They have been entertaining us for generations. However, some stars weren’t naturally born with good looks and, in particular to their dental health, this has been altered for the good of their career. worldental.org recently carried out research into stars which have paid over $50,000 for their dental care which took into consideration implant, veneers and other smile makeover treatment.
Implants and veneers can range from $5,000 to $40,000 and depends on the quantity of teeth in need of repair and the dentist chosen. Other commonly found forms of treatment include teeth whitening which is not as costly as other forms of treatment but just as important to them.
Who are the most well-known dental professionals to the stars?
Dr. Kevin Sands clients include Robert Downey Jr., Charlie Sheen and Britney Spears where he treats his patients out of his Los Angeles practice. Based in New York is Dr. Catrise Austin whose respected clients include Isaac Hayes and Toni Braxton. Apart from these personalities, who else is well-known for having dental treatment?
The many that have opted
Zac Efron has become a teenage sensation but when he first started his spell in the stars his wide front tooth gap was not up to grade. It is reported that he spent $10,000 having his gap sorted and for his teeth to be whiter.
The movie star Tom Cruise has not always had a perfect smile. Even in his thirties, Cruise’s teeth were misaligned but after spending a reported $30,000 in straightening them this has been a wise investment for his film career.
During her earlier days, Catherine Zeta Jones had a large gap between her front teeth along with fang-shaped canine teeth. Apparently, she had porcelain veneers attached to her teeth that cost her a substantial teeth whitening bill.
Nicholas Cage is one of the most respected actors of his time but his teeth haven’t always been as good. Even as recent as 2003, he was seen sporting silver braces on his lower teeth which have helped to correct his crooked gnashers. Once his braces were removed, Cage had teeth whitening treatment to give him with the bright smile he has now.
The look of Hollywood for yourself

How to get over those pesky tooth stains
It is a statement of the obvious to say that our teeth are beneficial for eating. What is perhaps a little less obvious is the impression that our teeth give others. As the cliché warns, we should never judge a book by its cover, and we should never judge a person by the whiteness of their teeth. Alas, clichés exist simply because we are nearly incapable of living without their heeding.
That said, so much of our first impressions hinges on the moment we open our mouths for the first time and reveal our chompers. Teeth can tell more about a person in just a few seconds than many other aesthetic attributes. Yellow, unsightly teeth can point to a relationship with nicotine and cigarette smoking, teeth rotted through with cavities can signal that someone is lax when it comes to hygiene and a smile populated with multiple teeth vacancies and broken teeth brings its own set of warnings.
It is no longer a question of “Do teeth matter when it comes to first impressions?” the answer is a resounding yes, of course they do. The sheer number of teeth whitening products available for home use, combined with the staggering amount of teeth whitening treatments available from dentists supports this statement.
It’s true, we have become obsessed with aligned and gleaming Hollywood smiles. Thankfully, for those of us who need a little help achieving and maintaining a white smile, the options and the methods available to us are plenty—from professional bleaching to laser whitening and of course there are cheaper, at-home alternatives.
Professional bleaching, which has to be performed by a dentist, is often carried out in just a few steps. The dentist places a rubber shield to protect your gums and then applies a whitening agent to your teeth using a specially-made tray. The total treatment time for this procedure is about two to three weeks and multiple visits to your dentist.
Laser whitening, which can be performed in less time with greater results, tends to be the preferred method of teeth whitening available. The initial steps are the same in laser whitening and bleaching, except, after the whitening agent has been applied, a laser is shone on the teeth to activate the chemical. This procedure takes about an hour.
The best way to determine which method of teeth whitening is best for you would be to contact your London cosmetic dentists and go in for a consultation.

Smile Like The Stars
Movie stars seem to have all the luck. Not only do they exist in a world of glitz and glamour, getting paid to do something they love, they also seem to have been gifted with the best genes available. Perfect hair, great bone structure, and those fantastic dazzling bright smiles that are flashed at the world time and time again at premiers and award shows the world over. Or that’s the illusion they’re happy for you to believe anyway.
The truth is that it is incredibly hard to maintain dazzling white teeth, even with an excellent dental health routine. This is because our lives are full of foodstuffs and drinks that stain our teeth, and sometimes even brushing, flossing and using mouthwash regularly will not prevent discolouration occurring eventually. Movie stars are no different, but they will employ one or all of a collection of teeth whitening and smile makeover treatments to make sure they’re smile stays as white as possible.
The most common treatments for lightly stained teeth involve a bleaching process where your dentist will ask you to wear a mouth tray containing a mild bleaching agent. This can be done either in surgery under supervision or you may elect for an at-home system that you can do as and when you have the time. This treatment is normally best for patients with only light staining, as for heavier stains a scale and polish is normally recommended. This is when your dentist uses electric instruments to polish plaque or tarter from the surface of the teeth.
There are several other types of teeth whitening treatments available but speaking to a cosmetic dentist will avail you of all your options and which solution would be best for you.
